Projector Retrofit

Hi guys,

Anybody in Vancouver done a retrofit and paint work in Vancouver? I'm looking into buying a projector/hid retrofit kit, and I'm looking for a good place that will do the work for me for a reasonable price.

I'd do it myself, but seems like a time consuming job. I already don't have enough hours in a day.

Thanks!

I am not interested in retrofit headlights and
I rather buy after market projector headlights and replace them
any idea of what product to buy?
I contacted a few local guys but no respond.
I guess people are busy.....

Yeah guys with ge have that option of going projector headlights where as guys with gd have jdm conversion to get projector headlights. So retrofit is the answer

It's real easy to do I'd suggest getting a second set of headlights tho

That was originally my plan too, but from what I can find, these are the only option (09 10 HONDA FIT 2X HALO LED PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS BLACK | eBay)

The problem with aftermarket headlights 99% of the time they don't fit properly

yeah, this is my biggest worry
I saw somewhere another person installed after market headlights and there is a big gap between the light and the hood.
